My Projects, My Living Room

Yesterday I showed you how I added a couple of key pieces to our main living space, but today I’m showing you the entire room and how I incorporated some of my favorite furniture transformations I’ve completed in the past year.

I love that you can see my little treasures under the glass… my grandpa’s old pipe, my father-in-law’s dog tags, and a collection of crosses passed down from our great grandparents.

Living Room Refresh {Better Homes & Gardens Challenge}

I absolutely love a challenge, so when Better Homes and Gardens asked me if I wanted to refresh my living room for $250 with their line sold exclusively at Walmart, of course I had to say YES!

BHG living room refresh makeover This room has been the only space in my home that I haven’t fully revealed on my blog. There were just a couple key pieces I needed to make this room feel complete… a photo gallery wall in the stairwell, a new area rug, and some little finishing touches throughout the room.

Let’s just say this room needed to be refreshed.
